University of Detroit Mercy's School of Dentistry & Clinic To Serve As Academic Partner
DETROIT, Feb. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Health Resource Services Administration (HRSA) has awarded the Detroit Wayne County Health Authority a $1.8 million grant to allow for the expansion of an Advanced Education in General Dentistry dental residency with the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry & Clinic (UDM), beginning July 1. The one-year residency will include funding for 12 primary care dental residents.
"We're very pleased to offer a residency in general dentistry," said Chris Allen, Health Authority CEO. "With the exception of a few community dentistry programs, it's very difficult for a low income family to get oral health care. We believe this program will expand the population of dental providers in Detroit and other dental health shortage areas. UDM Dental, as our academic partner brings a longtime commitment to providing dental care for underserved populations as well as an outstanding teaching program.
"We expect that this residency will increase the number of general dentists in Detroit and other medically-underserved areas in Michigan," Allen said. "Residents will receive high quality academic training from UDM faculty in community-based ambulatory settings. During clinical rotations and didactic sessions, residents will be trained using clinical management expertise and quality improvement techniques. Dental residents will also be exposed to principles of population health in order to foster community-centered practice. This is a major enhancement of the existing Authority Health medical residency."
The general dentistry residency, under the clinical leadership of Dr. Mert Aksu, UDM School of Dentistry Dean will work with community and university stakeholders to facilitate residency training in a program accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation. The patient-centered, evidence-based program will include oral disease treatment.
"University of Detroit Mercy and the School of Dentistry & Clinic is proud to partner with the Detroit Wayne County Health Authority for community-based advanced Education in General Dentistry residency positions," said Dean Aksu. "This expansion of our existing residency will offer residents an opportunity to have an immersive community-based experience serving the underserved residents of Wayne County and the State of Michigan.
New Community-Based Dental Residency
UDM's School of Dentistry is a partner with Wayne State University in the State of Michigan Area Health Education Center Grant. This partnership with the Health Authority will further UDM's mission and strategic initiatives in service learning as UDM prepares future oral health professionals to meet the increasing numbers of underserved throughout Michigan and the United States."
UDM Dental was founded in 1932. Its main facility includes 190 clinical operatories, state-of-the-art classrooms, and a simulation laboratory which seats 100 students. Clinical programs include dental hygiene, post-doctoral endodontics, and postdoctoral orthodontics, as well as advanced programs in general dentistry and periodontics. UDM Dental operates a 42-chair clinic at Detroit Receiving Hospital and University Health Center. The hospital-based clinic, the largest of any dental school in the United States, provides fourth-year students with the opportunity to care for medically-compromised patients, and offers a rich learning experience which is unique in American dental education.
The Detroit Wayne County Health Authority was established in 2004 to create a health care safety net for the uninsured and underserved population of Wayne County. It provides health benefit enrollment, promotes capacity expansion of community health centers and community health programs, and provides a teaching health center program for post-graduate medical and dental training.

"A very good polymerase for PCR reactions."
DNA Polymerase I catalyzes the template-directed polymerization of nucleotides into duplex DNA in a 5´→3´ direction. DNA Polymerase I possesses a 3´→5´ exonuclease activity or "proofreading" function, which lowers the error rate during DNA replication, and also contains a 5´→3´ exonuclease activity, which enables the enzyme to replace nucleotides in the growing strand of DNA by nick translation (1). The enzyme, purified from recombinant E. coli, is capable of catalyzing de novo synthesis of synthetic homopolymers and provides a convenient method for the preparation of a variety of defined DNA substrates (2).
- Flexible: DNA Polymerase I may be used in a variety of molecular applications.
- May Be Heat-Inactivated: DNA Polymerase I is inactivated by heating at 68°C for 10 minutes.
- Provided with 10X Reaction Buffer: 500mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.2 at 25°C), 100mM MgSO4, 1mM DTT.
- Labeling of DNA to high specific radioactivity by nick translation (1).
- Second-strand cDNA synthesis.
- Kelly, R.B. et al. (1970) J. Biol. Chem. 245, 39–45.

"These invitations were absolutely stunning. I received so many compliments on them. People said it was handsdown the nicest graduation invitation they had every received. Very unique. Paper quality and image resolution were excellent. Although they were expensive, I ended up saving money because since the card included 5 large photos, it took the place of including individual pictures. An added bonus was I ordered them in mid May and received them in less than 5 business days! Was able to get them out 2 and a half weeks before graduation with no added expense to postage."
"This was an exceptionally beautiful card used for my daughter's graduation announcement. I have received many compliments and I highly recommend this card. It is a nice keepsake and would be wonderful to scrapbook as well."
"Easy processes online and a good product with great paper and print quality. I also appreciated the option of having one of their professionals looking over it before it went to print."
"I did not like the announcement selection from the portrait studio. I had to scan that shot and was worried about the reproduction quality but the card is absolutely professional! I was able to customize exactly the way I wanted. It's beautiful. Thanks Tiny Prints."
"I was extremely pleased with this product from the quality of paper to the ease of customizing my order with personal photos and text. This product is as good as you would find in a professional studio, the only difference is more affordable. This was my first time ordering from this company, so I'm very thankful the product exceded my expectations. I will be ordering again! Thank you Tiny Prints!"

Of course all this decibel record noise occurs when the opposing team is on offense and is meant to make their signal calling extremely difficult.
For the recent game against the 49ers, Seattle called upon their "13th man" in the form of the one-sided officiating corps.
Early in the first quarter, the television camera clearly showed a Seahawk defender draped over 49er receiver Michael Crabtree in the end zone. The hold prevented Crabtree from going for what would have been the game's first touchdown. Even the television commentators were aware of the infraction, but their only remark was to say "I guess they're going to let them play."
Other missed calls, that were clearly visible on replay, included not giving the Niners the football when it was clear that linebacker Bowman was in full possession of the ball while lying in the turf, a Seattle defender crashing into the 49er punter, a fact that was confirmed by a far-away LA expert on penalties. Instead of the 5-yard penalty that was assessed, it should have been a 15-yarder, because of the fact that the Seattle defender hit the plant foot of the kicker, not the kicking foot. If the proper penalty had been called, the 49ers would have continued an offensive march.
During these egregious mistakes by the officials, you could see 49er couch, Jim Harbaugh going nuts on the sidelines. He was even more upset when these same officials slapped a 15-yard penalty on 49er cornerback Witmer for a shoulder-to-shoulder hit, which is legal.
To be fair, the 49ers may have dug themselves into a hole when their special teams allowed a long punt return, their defense failed to stop a long fourth-and-two pass that went for a touchdown, and they gave up a touchdown run by Seattle running back Marshawn Lynch just before halftime.
With the score knotted at 10-10 at halftime, it was clear that the final 30 minutes would determine the NFC Championship. As far as Couch Harbaugh was concerned, he was unusually calm and self-possessed in the TV interview following the game. He noted, correctly, that if Kaepernick's final pass to Crabtree had been only a few inches higher, the outcome would have been different. Even Kaepernick himself admitted the pass was underthrown.
Strangely enough, the Seahawks celebration was overshadowed by the obstreperous outburst of cornerback Richard Sherman, who deflected the ball. His rant was comparable to that of a street-side rapper. Although he tried to walk-back his comments in the days following the game, he is still the major topic of conversation.
Whether his claim is to be the best corner in the game, the hold-up against the Denver Broncos remains to be seen. If Denver's diminutive Wes Welker burns Sherman in the Super Bowl, most football fans will be delighted.
As my good friend "Dandy Don" Meredith, Dallas quarterback and Monday Night Football commentator used to say, "If ifs and buts were candy and nuts, what a Merry Christmas we would all have."

Let me start of by saying the food was actually pretty tasty however, the service was the worst I've ever experienced. They scammed me and my date by overcharging us all while insulting us.
After the waitress gave us wrong information (said if we had a groupon we could still participate in the wine special but we just had to have two separate bills) then when the bill came she denied saying anything claiming that she must have not understood the question even though she brought the idea up in the first place? After asking for the "manager". He came over with attitude not even looking at us. Then midway through a sentence he just said "NO!" Forcefully snatched the bill with my credit card in it out of my hand and went to charge the full amount. Then walked by and threw my credit on the table and just walked away.
My date attempted to calm things down and walked up to the front to speak with the "manager" again and before she even said a word he proceeded to insult her calling her "stupid and tacky" all while yelling "BYE!" over and over.
Having worked in the service industry before I have never seen such childish and unprofessional behavior coming from a so called manager let alone yell at customers in the middle of a crowded room. I wonder if the owner of the restaurant realizes what type of people he has hired to be the face of the restaurant.
Oh and after a few attempts at contacting catch we were never successful in getting back the money back that we were overcharged.
A Seafood Must! – Catch is a great restaurant to go to! I definitely recommend this place to people that love an ambient place to dine and have a good time. The service is very friendly and the food is always fresh. The bar is always equipped with great choices to choose from. I loved the sushi and the calamari and i was only on the appetizer! I savored each and every bite that I took, and then when dinner came along I was at awe. The halibut melted in my mouth and as I sipped my wine I realized that they complimented each other in a way that words cannot explain. I didn't want to leave. Then came the dessert.
The brownie and ice cream was delightful as I indulged into it with a great pleasure. Catch is definitely a place that I will return to more than once! I advise you to come too!
BEST NEIGHBORHOOD RESTAURANT – Really great place to dine. The fish is always fresh and cooked perfectly. I really like the patio and the view out towards busy Market Street. I can take my dog along and sit at the sidewalk seating. Brunches are fairly priced and the service is excellant.
I love this place – I really love to dine at Catch. there are a lot of different choices there, and my family really loves it. We are regulars, and a happy to be. There is ambiance everywhere, and the outdoor fire makes the restaurants cozy on a cold day. I really like that you can substitute parts of the dish for something that you would rather prefer. the service is really friendly, and the owner is as well.It is an all in all amazing restaurant.
Love the Calamari! – I went to this restaurant on a double date a couple of months ago. Unfortunately, my blind date didn't like seafood, which could have been a problem, seeing that we were in a seafood restaurant. Instead, he ordered one of the many other dishes that didn't contain seafood. Most other places wouldn't have anything else, but Catch offers dishes other then seafood, which was extremely helpful in this case. We occasionally come back to this place to celebrate where we first met each other. The romantic settings are perfect for a dinner for two.And we absolutely adore the pianist on the platform near the ceiling.
Really Good! – Catch is a great restaraunt. The deck is fabulous - it is heated. Service is fast and the food is really good. Very friendly staff. Nice atmosphere.
YOU HAVE TO GO THERE! – Catch has got to be the most marvelous fish restaurant i have ever been to in my life! i was truly amazed by this astonishing dining experience. EVERYTHING is perfect about it: the beautiful deco with outdoor heated patio, the wonderful, quick and friendly serivce, and who could forget the most outstanding, mouth watering, remarkable, fresh fish food you have ever tasted! You will NOT be disappointed! trust me!
One of My Favorite Places to go on a Saturday Night – I discovered this place when one of my good friends recommended it to me. It has amazing food, a little something for everyone. The nice flavors and the excellent wine selection mix well together. If you are a lover of seafood like myself, then this is an perfect spot for a nice dinner. The atmosphere is great too. With an inside portion and an outside patio, the diner gets to choose the best spot. Located on a nice street, you can watch the night life while staying warm by the heated lamps. The only problem is that it can get semi-crowded at times. I highly recommend this place for any type of occasion.
Great Ambiance, Cool, Great Food – Catch was a pleasant surprise. As you walk in the ambiance is cool and refreshing -- it's fresh looking, relaxing, and happening. The menu is really good -- has a variety of seafood items, plus chicken, steak, veggie, and pasta dishes. The sushi appetizer is to die for, and so is the Artichoke appetizer!! We really enjoyed the food, and the live piano music just makes it a special place to visit. We go there regularly now.
decent food, pleasant service, overpriced for the fare – Our waiter was pleasant, the food decent but nothing to write home about, however for the price you can eat one thousand times better in this city, all-in-all average

Sponsored this month by the fabulous Brie, owner and creative mastermind behind the amazing Sophistifunk shop!!!!
"My dad was diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer in October of 2011. He had never smoked and was only 44 years old, so it came as a huge shock to my family. He was a well known high school football coach in the Phoenix area and as soon as he was diagnosed, the community rallied together for him and created www.teambemis.com. They raised money for our family to help pay for his rising medical bills and so my stepmom didn't have to worry about working while taking care of my dad and two little brothers (ages 1 and 6 at the time). My dad passed away in January 2012, just three months after his diagnosis. Seeing my dad (and hero) go through such a gruesome process of radiation and chemotherapy made me want to do something to give back and thank the community for all they'd done for our family. I've made jewelry for family and friends for a long time but decided that I wanted to create a business out of it with a percentage of proceeds going towards various cancer charities. Last month, I was able to donate over $100 to the Ronan Thompson Foundation which goes towards finding a cure for Neuroblastoma, a form of pediatric (childhood) cancer."
Brie, you are TRULY amazing. Amazing!!!!!
Please go shop at Sophistifunk and a part of the proceeds will be donated to cancer charities!!!!

Security concerns are the biggest barrier to mobile payments adoption among smartphone owners, according to a survey released last week by Accenture. More of the 4,002 smartphone owners surveyed (45%) cited security as their top reason for not using their mobile phone to make payments, a statement released last announcing the results of the survey said. The next biggest concerns, each chosen by 37% of the respondents, were privacy issues and the convenience of other payments types, such as cash, cards and checks.
In addition to these security concerns, the survey results suggest that consumers expect mobile payments solutions to do more than just enable payments. Among those surveyed that did use their smartphones to make payments, 60% said they were highly likely to use their phone to make payments if it tracked receipts, and 56 % said they were more likely to do so if the solution helped them manage their finances.
Those mobile payments users were also interested in a solution that could show a valid driver's license on the smartphone (54%) or proof of insurance (56%).
[See Related: Javelin Forecasts Big Growth in Mobile Payments By 2018]
More than half of the mobile payments users in the survey (60%) indicated that they would use their phone to pay more often if they were offered instant coupons by retailers to pay by phone, according to Accenture's statement. If offered rewards points to use at the merchant, 51% of the respondents said they would pay with their phone more often. And 50% said they would do so if they were offered some form of preferential customer service or received coupons that were automatically stored on their phone.
Many of these same incentives would be interesting to those who aren't already using mobile payments, the survey found. About one third of those surveyed said they would use mobile payments if the solution could track receipts or show proof of insurance. And 20% of the respondents said they'd be more likely to use mobile payments if they could get coupons for specific merchants saved on their smartphone.

I know this is an excellent forum, but as a beginner and many like me would like some advice on what to do before using eg.Liberty+ or another programme.
You all tell us what to do when you install Liberty+, but it would help if you could inform us what to do from switching on the i-phone. eg. whether to restore or whatever we should do before setting out to unlock the phone or even upgrade from say 1.1.2 to 1.1.4
I'm sure this has been dealt with before, my apologies but it would really help start everyone off.
Thanks Jk.

I hardly think more options would simpify or reduce administration overhead expenses. Extending the current Food Bill and then falling over the cliff might just be the best solution to the nations oversized government ails. Some of us might just have to quit throwing food into the dumpster.

Then, just as a sidebar, there's dumping two troubled manned fighters representing a $1.5+ Trillion investment over the next ten years, while we're simultaneously deploying Avenger Drones, which DARPA suggests will be the core of our Air Force Technology by 2017. That's a lot of Small Farms and Businesses that could be saved and started-imagine the revenue THAT would generate. China and Russia are creating State of the Art Stealth Fighters for a fraction of what we're spending, perhaps like the Wal-Mart method, we should just buy theirs and retrofit our tech onto them. Again, just a thought.

"As class president, all year I was constantly thinking of what our class was going to leave as a Senior Legacy," Class President Natalie Owens said. "I knew I wanted it to be modest, yet prominent so people would remember us long after graduation.
"I had a perfect example of such a senior legacy from past classes. My older brother was class president of 2004, and he organized the installment of the huge eagle statue in the middle of the rotunda with 'Donated by c/o 2004' imprinted on the front-a very modest example indeed.
"Nonetheless, with a great deal of prayer and brainstorming with my fellow class officers, it was decided that as the last official class to have Dr. Gene Rhodes, we should attempt to honor him while simultaneously leaving an impact of our own. That's when the Educator of the Year Award was born.
"The plan was to have a big award ceremony that surprised Dr. Rhodes and also explain the significance to the rest of the school. With the affirmative support of my principal, I began planning dates and arrangements with PTO President, Dedra Vital. She loved the idea and ran with it far beyond my expectations. After much organizing and indiscreet communications, the special day had arrived.
"On May 6, the first day of Teacher Appreciation Week, the faculty had a meeting after school, and Dr. Rhodes was in attendance. What he did not know was that soon after the teachers sat down to their meeting in the lecture room, the seniors along with past graduates were gathering in the lunchroom. They were all previously contacted and asked to come and support Dr. Rhodes in a surprise retirement celebration.
"Many came from far and wide, including graduates from 1995, all the way from Florida. In the lunchroom we had signs for people to write their graduation year and hold up later on. From the class of 1995 to the almost graduated class of 2013, nearly 100 people came.
"We also made a huge card out of poster board and bundle with ribbon, so they all could sign it; it would be presented to Dr. Rhodes with the award. Once all was labeled and signed, we led everyone into the library where a red carpet was rolled out from the door. All the guests lined the sides and prepared everyone for Dr. Rhodes's arrival.
"I interrupted the faculty meeting and with great desperation, requested that Dr. Rhodes be allowed to come outside for a moment. He thought something was severely wrong and asked me to sit down and talk to him about it. He kept assuring me that it was going to be ok, and saying "Let's just sit and talk" but I told him the only way to explain was for him to follow me. We walked down the Common's Hallway for a moment, and through the windows he saw the packed library. 'Ohhh no...' he said, and began to walk much slower. 'Natalie, I'm gonna...' I just said, 'Come on...'"
"Everyone had already started cheering, so he had no choice but to come down the aisle. At the end of the aisle was the podium where I thanked everyone for coming and asked if anyone wanted to say something, a line that cued the speech prepared 1995 graduate, David. He spoke, as well as two past graduates of 2012, and thanked their good friend and teacher.
"I proceeded with the agenda by explaining to everyone the real purpose behind the occasion. I told them of how our class wanted to leave a legacy that didn't necessarily stand up, but would forever stand out. The Earl Eugene Rhodes Educator of the Year award was a recognition to be decided and presented by that year's senior class.
"Dr. Rhodes is more than a teacher to many, but went the extra mile to see his students excel not only in the classroom, but in life as well. He was leaving behind a well established reputation and example, and the Educator of the Year Award would recognize those who followed in that example each year. It was the seniors' job to elect that educator, whether it be a coach, teacher, or administrator. Its purpose was to honor those who impacted that class like Dr. Rhodes impacted ours."
Dr. Rhodes was presented with a glossed redwood bound book. When opened, on one side it said The Earl Eugene Rhodes Educator of the Year Award presented to Gene Rhodes by the class of 2013 Seniors and on the other side it had a clock.
"The books symbolized the teachings he gave as our English teacher and the clock represents the priceless time he gave us that made the real difference," Owens said.

The students in my youth group have all been so excited about the mission trip we just completed and are already working on plans for next summer's mission trip. They have such a strong desire to serve, witness, work, and go out of town.
So I decided to take things up a notch. I spent weeks preparing a lesson on how to be a missionary to their schools. I told the students all about ways to serve and grow in their very own school. I told them how they could reach out and make a difference in people's lives. I gave them an opportunity to stand up and proclaim that they were willing to work for God in their school.
Want to know how many students responded to that? How many were ready to proclaim the Gospel in their schools? How many were not ashamed to witness to their friends? Out of twenty-six youth in the room, there was a big whopping zero.
I was stunned. I was disappointed. But mostly I realized that I had been approaching missions all wrong with these youth. I took them out knocking on doors, walking through parks, and going out of town to share the Gospel. And they excelled at all of those things, but I left out an important aspect of missions – missions start at home.
Sure, I had told them that before. And they were even okay with that, as long as "home" meant people that live close by but are ultimately strangers.
There is definitely a fear involved with witnessing to people you know; especially for teenagers. In school we learn that image is everything. Just look at the labels that are put on people. There's jock, emo, band geek, prep, nerd, popular, unpopular, several that aren't appropriate to mention…oh and the Christian kill-joy. No one wants to be the outcast. It is devastating to be made fun of, to face ridicule in school.
There can be a high price to pay when you decide to stand for what is right; when you unashamedly proclaim the name of Jesus. It is hard enough as an adult. I struggle with it daily. But, it is nothing compared to being a teenager.
I remember a time when I was in seventh grade. I had just sat down to eat lunch in the cafeteria. I was sitting alone, minding my own business. Then, I bowed my head to pray. The next thing I knew something wet was running through my hair and this guy behind me was saying something about goody-goody Christians. He had spit on me while I prayed. I was mortified. I quickly got up and went to the bathroom and washed my hair as best I could. I never "told on him." I never even knew who he was really. Here's what I do know: the rest of that year, I prayed with my eyes open.
I understand the difficulties teenagers have. I've been there. But, I also understand that we have been given an assignment. We are called to be missionaries everyday. It is not enough to go on a mission trip once a year. It is not enough to put on our happy face when we go to church.
Matthew 28:16-20 says, "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age."
Most everyone is somewhat familiar with the great commission. It calls us to make disciples of all nations. Unfortunately, a lot of us tend to see the word "go" and think that it is referring only to going away. When Jesus was speaking to the disciples about this, in the original text, we see that he actually was saying, as you are going. You see, everywhere we go we are to preach the Gospel.
For teenagers, a vast majority of time is spent at school. That means it is up to us to teach them how to minister at their school. No one can reach a school for Christ as effectively as a fellow student.
So, how do we accomplish this? I think it starts with prayer. As youth workers, parents, and ministers, we should be constantly lifting up the teens in our lives who are faced with tough decisions every day. We should pray that they become bold and confident. Then, we teach them how to witness. We show them how important prayer is in witnessing. We show them how to "bring God up" in their conversations. Last, we keep lifting them up and encouraging them. It is not enough for us to tell them once. We have to stay constantly involved. We have to be there to support them when they face trials. We have to remind them that they are not alone.
What is the call to missions? It is a call given by God to all Christians, all the time.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Broncos' team logo still shows a horse's face, not Peyton Manning's.
He is not playing defensive end, kicker and punt returner in addition to quarterback.
Yet, to the world outside of the Broncos' Dove Valley training facility, this has become the Denver Mannings.
The former Colts quarterback and future Hall of Fame quarterback is expected to do for the Broncos what he has done previously: Win a Super Bowl. Play like a four-time most valuable player. Set records.
That is all.
Never mind those four neck surgeries, 19 months off, a new offense and new teammates to get acquainted with and the fact he is 36.
He still is Peyton Manning. And his impact on this team is palpable in many ways.
Wide receiver Brandon Stokley, who was Manning's teammate with the Colts for four years and has joined forces with him again here, says Manning's presence gives the Broncos a chance to be great.
Broncos coach John Fox refers to Manning as a player who "raises all boats."
His leadership is rare.
"The great thing is when you have a veteran like that, he knows what it takes," Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy said. "When things don't go the way you want them to go, he's not afraid to speak up. It's great for the young guys to see how it should be done every day. He works harder than (anybody)."
He even has affected the defense.
"With a guy like that moving at the pace he moves, it forces everyone to move at his pace," defensive end Elvis Dumervil said.
This is what the Broncos hoped for in the offseason when they gave Manning a five-year, $96 million contract after he rejected the Chiefs, Dolphins, Jets, Redskins Seahawks, Titans and 49ers for them.
But Manning still is going to need some help. Maybe more than he ever has.
He will need young, promising receivers Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker to learn what he wants from them and to play consistently.
Manning also will need familiar faces Stokley and Jacob Tamme to help him bridge the gap between offensive systems and provide reliability as well as stability. Both former Colts have stood out in camp.
"It helps certainly to have familiar faces," said Manning, who is expected to make his Broncos debut Thursday night against the Bears at Soldier Field. "It makes me comfortable when I line up in certain formations and see Stokley and Tamme in each slot. Any time you make a big transition, and this is big, any signs of familiarity do make you feel comfortable."
